The Children's Organ Transplant Association is a Bloomington, Indiana-based nonprofit that supports families facing life-saving transplants by coordinating fundraising efforts and providing family assistance. It serves patients of any age who require organ, bone marrow, cord blood, or stem cell transplants, with particular emphasis on children and young adults up to age 21 dealing with disease-related complications. The organization guides families and volunteers through every step of fundraising—from organizing campaign committees and planning events to coordinating media outreach and identifying multiple sources of funding—and does so at no cost to the families. As a 501(c)(3) charity, gifts to COTA are tax-deductible, and the organization acts as trustee of the contributed funds, ensuring they are not counted as family income and do not affect eligibility for other assistance programs. It provides integrated communications and support, fundraising campaign development, campaign and family websites, ongoing campaign support, and negotiating services to sustain transplant-related fundraising efforts.
